I must be missing the point, with a horse that was eased.
You know what we should be discussing when it comes to trips/rides? How about:
1) Cornelio blocking Kent the length of the stretch on Friday, with the other half of the Mott entry. I've been betting over 30 years and I've seen a lot of stupid **** but a jock going out of his way to shut off a winning move by his entry mate is about as DUMBASS as it gets. YET, no comments on this forum.
2) How about Edgar going 4 wide on the 1st turn with Pays to Dream? I mean, the horse is coming off the pace anyway so why not sit on the rail, like the winner, or the 2 path, like the runner up? Run an extra 30-45 feet or so, lose by 1/2 length and get vanned off. Nice at 11:1 ............
This kind of stuff is interesting when it comes to trips. A horse that doesn't fire, for whatever reason, is not.
Let's try to take it up a notch.
